Can the Exam Results Helpline help everyone?
Sophie remembers a caller who really stuck with her. They had received only a couple of GCSEs and were unsure what they could do next. Sophie helped them explore Level 1 and Level 2 Qualifications together. They called back to say they’d secured a place in college that would still allow them to follow the career they had chosen.
However you did in your exams, you have the opportunity to explore rewarding next steps. The Exam Results Helpline careers advisers are there to help you discover those steps.
